: Telecommunication Switching Systems and Networks

Instructor-in-charge

: Dr NAVNEET UPADHYAY

1. Course description:
Introduction, electromechanical switching, pulse dialing and DTMF dialing, stored program control, space
division switching, speech digitization and transmission, time division switching, fundamentals of traffic
engineering, telephone networks, signaling, data networks, layered architecture and protocols, LANs, packet
switching networks, TCP/IP, ISDN, ATM networks.

2. Scope & Objective:

The objective of the course is to impart theoretical and practical knowledge of the present day
telecommunication switching systems and data networks. Topics ranging from the electromechanical switching
systems to the voice and data integration systems will be covered. Design of space and time division switching
systems will be discussed. The course also deals with SONET, VoIP, data networks and ATM networks.
